Full transcript:

Today's expression is to lean into someone or something.

Hello guys. This is Daniel Goodson. It's good to have you back here on the Vocab Man, where the listeners and me as well are trying to get better in English by listening very closely to different clips or expressions from daily life.

Now, all I have to do is lean on him. -Check- until he falls over.

Did you understand the text or the clip that you heard right before? .Don't worry about that if you didn't. Because. There's a transcript in the show notes.

And I'm going to do an audiogram with a video version of this episode as well. So that you can read along while you are listening to the Vocab Man.

So the speaker of the first clip said " now, all I have to do is lean on him" and then we could hear a second voice saying "check" that means someone

kind of approved what the other speaker said.

And then the other one continued and said until he falls over.

Now, all I have to do is lean on him. -Check- until he falls over.

So this is the first meaning of the expression to lean into something. So actually it means to push into or to press against someone or something. So imagine you pushing against a wall for whatever reason. Or a better example would be, let's say there are

zombies out there and they try to enter the room or enter your house. And then you are going to try with all the effort to leaning into the door. Right.

So that nobody will enter the room.

So this was the first explanation and the first meaning. And this is easier to imagine, right? Because you can always have some sort of a picture in your mind. And the second meaning will be different. And we want to focus on that. So listen closely to the next clip.

Why did you start podcasting?

I actually, I started podcasting because I was in software sales and it was a way for me to make more sales through my podcasting. And I quickly learned that I liked the podcasting part of it more than I liked the software sales part of it. So I kind of leaned into that. My first ever podcast was just interviewing local businesses about, you know, what they do for their business.

So I kind of leaned into that.

So I kind of leaned into that.

So the second meaning is slightly different. It means to pursue some task or activity with great effort, determination and perseverance. For example, She's really been leaning into her English books lately.

At this rate, she could have a shot at a professional carreer as a translator . Or for example,

Let's imagine this scenario. I quit my job . So I gave up my job so I could lean into my podcasting career for The Vocab Man. This would be hilarious. Right.

Yes, you can lean into greatness. You were born to do something special.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you think there's no way I'm coming back from this, I urge you to lean into these strategies and think again,

And if you are really serious about learning English, than I urge you to lean into it and give your best. You can make it!
